The Descent 2 Skips U.S. Release
Alas, The Descent: Part 2, my theater hardly knew ye.
After waiting a few years for this follow up, Lionsgate announced yesterday that the sequel will go straight to DVD on April 27. However, don’t for a second think that this is some made for DVD, shot on DV, crap horror sequel. The Descent: Part 2 actually had a full theatrical run in it’s native UK. It opened to mixed reviews from both fans and critics (most point out that the sequel is played mostly for laughs, which is odd as the original was extremely hardcore horror), but for those of you who loved Neil Marshall’s creepy, claustrophobic, and highly original first film, this sequel is a must.
Expect a review as soon as I can get my hands on a copy. Here’s some info on the DVD.
